11,968 Pointspage won't display when I add the paypal form
After adding the paypal form my page will not display when I select a shirt from the shirts page. It is a white screen and the browser page says "localhost/shirt.php?id= 101" When I look in the console it is giving me a server 500 error message. My code is below.
<?php include("inc/products.php");
$product_id = $_GET["id"];
$product = $products[$product_id];
$section = "shirts";
$pageTitle = $product["name"];
include("inc/header.php"); ?>
<div class="section page">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="breadcrumb"><a href="shirts.php">Shirts</a> > <?php echo $product["name"]; ?></div>
<div class="shirt-picture">

<img src="<?php echo $product["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product["name"]; ?>">

<div class="shirt-details">
<h1><span class="price">$<?php echo $product["price"]; ?></span> <?php echo $product["name"]; ?></h1>

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsHi Jesse Fister,
I haven't tested your code, but I am noticing a few lines with un-escaped quotes.
<?php
// lines similar to this
<img src="<?php echo $product["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product["name"]; ?>">
// need to escape the quotes
<img src="<?php echo $product[\"img\"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product[\"name\"]; ?>">
// or use single quotes
<img src="<?php echo $product['img']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product['name']; ?>">
?>
